Description
The mimic is a bipedal creature with uncanny similarities to humanoid anatomy. They greatly resemble humans without skin and with exaggerated features. These features include:
- Longer arms and thin fingers with no fingernails
- Longer, hunched-over legs with a duck-footed stance
- Flat noses
- Large, sunken eyes
- Clammy skin
- A mouth full of teeth forming a smile. This does not indicate happiness, it is simply the Mimic's facial structure.
- Unnaturally tall stature (~7 ft.)
The mouth of the Mimic contains more teeth than any human typically does and is almost entirely of incisors with some canines and premolars in the back. This tooth composition is ideal for biting into meat and swallowing chunks whole.
Mimics also have the ability to contort their body in ways that allow them to fit into smaller spaces. Additionally, Mimics also have the ability to expand their bodies to appear more intimidating.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Mimics learn to take to hiding around their stalking target, often in their homes or places of work. If in their lair, they have advantages on hiding, and will often get the jump on anyone who decides to stick around.
Regional Effects
The region containing a Mimic’s lair is has the following effects:
- Areas around the mimic's place of hiding will be very wary about wandering alone, often telling passerby's to do the same.
- Local papers and posters will warn of local Mimic activity.
- Strangely mangled corpses of unfortunate people will be found, brutally ripped limbs and large, humanoid bites will be left on the victim.
If the Mimic dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d12 days.
